A Daily Moment of Clarity for Your Business & Your Busyness
In less than five days, more than 1000 people have watched the talk I gave at TEDxMU about our son. That’s more than live in my hometown. That kinda freaks me out. I’ve gotten emails from complete strangers, emails from old friends and made new friends as a result of this great gift known as [...]
Next week, I’m going to Portland to be a guest of the Portland Area Radio Council. The day before the free public workshop, I’ll deliver two private workshops to a couple hundred media reps. As part of my workshops, I always answer questions. By getting the questions in advance, it gives me time to prepare [...]

To help celebrate National Volunteer Week this week, I asked a few of my way-smarter-than-me-volunteery-type-friends to share some advice for volunteer coordinators on how to enrich the experience for volunteers. Yesterday, I asked them to help me help you if you’re new to volunteering or would like to get more out of it. Question: A new volunteer [...]
I'm a husband, dad, and I'm the head custodian for The Imagination Advisory Group. All three are pretty good gigs.
I regularly speak to conferences, colleges, and companies about what makes people do the things they do.
